Convent of Nuestra Señora de Gracia, Renaissance convent in Ávila, Spain
The Convent of Nuestra Señora de Gracia exhibits Renaissance architecture with granite ashlars and features a single-nave church with distinctive vaulted ceilings.
Founded in 1509 by Augustinian nuns, the convent underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1622, leading to substantial renovations of its architectural elements.
The main altarpiece, created by Juan Rodríguez and Lucas Giraldo in the mid-16th century, represents the artistic achievements of Spanish Renaissance craftsmanship.
Located in central Ávila, the convent remains an active religious institution and currently does not offer public access except through special arrangements.
Saint Teresa of Ávila received her education at this convent in 1531 under the guidance of María Briceño before illness forced her return home.
